Quotes 

• Joshua Walcek : I reckon I better fix you up a muster roll of the men you've got to fight with, Captain.

  Captain Grey Holden : What do you know about muster rolls?

  Joshua Walcek : War of 1812, Captain. General Jackson wouldn't have got very far without me.

  Captain Grey Holden : General Jackson!

• Joshua Walcek : The bunch we ran into yesterday are signaling the main camp.

  Captain Grey Holden : Hey, how come you know so much about Indians?

  Joshua Walcek : I did some tradin' with 'em for a time back when this country was what I really call country. There's too many people now - a man can't breathe.

• Jimmy 'Chip' Kessler : Here's you coffee, Captain, sir.

  Captain Grey Holden : What are you supposed to be?

  Jimmy 'Chip' Kessler : I'm your cabin boy - officially!

  Captain Grey Holden : Officially, huh. Who hired you?

  Joshua Walcek : I hired him.

  Captain Grey Holden : Ohhh. Oh, you hired him.

  Joshua Walcek : Aye. It's a downright disgrace for a fine boat like this to run without a cabin boy. A big two-stack sternwheeler like this has to have a cabin boy. It's the rules of the river!

  Captain Grey Holden : And what you do you know about the rules of the river?

  Joshua Walcek : I was the first mate on the Memphis Belle for two years. Now, we're about to dock. I've got to see if the crew's ready. Stand by for landing!

  Captain Grey Holden : Who hired you!
